FAQs

Old Sheffield Plate is an early form of silver plating created by fusing a sheet of sterling silver to a base metal of copper, invented in the 18th century before the discovery of electroplating.

These items were constructed by thermally fusing silver and copper together, often featuring weighted bases filled with resin, pitch, or wood to provide stability for multiple candle branches.

Authentic pieces often exhibit tiny areas where the copper base shows through underneath the silver layer due to wear, known as bleeding, and generally predates standard hallmarks.

Such pieces can be used as centrepieces on dining tables or sideboards to introduce reflective metallic textures, contrasting effectively against contemporary minimalist furniture.

Clean gently with a soft microfibre cloth and specialized non-abrasive silver polish, avoiding excessive scrubbing that could wear away the thin silver layer on fused metal.
